We measured the mechanical loss of a dielectric multilayer reflective coating (ion-beam-sputtered SiO2 and Ta2O5) with and without TiO2 on sapphire disks between 6 and 77 K. The measured loss angle exhibited a temperature dependence, and the local maximum was found at approximately 20 K. This maximum was 7.0*10^(-4) (with TiO2) and 7.7*10^(-4) (without TiO2), although the previous measurement for the coating on sapphire disks showed almost no temperature dependence (Phys. Rev. D 74 022002 (2006)). We evaluated the coating thermal noise in KAGRA and discussed future investigation strategies.
